Hi Sam;
How did you remove it from Startup, did you just Delete the Icon that was
there, if so you can replace the Icon by simplying creating a shortcut to
the Osa.exe file in the Windows Startup folder.
Additional Information
----------------------
You can use the following command-line switches with OSA.exe:
- -b This switch starts the Office Shortcut Bar when it is used with the
"-l" switch.*
- -f This switch opens the Open Office Document dialog box at startup.
- -n This switch opens the New Office Document dialog box at startup.
- -s This switch starts the specified screen saver at startup. Note that
if there is no
screen saver selected under Display in Control Panel, you receive
a message stating this.
- -o This switch starts the Office Shortcut Bar.
*Osa.exe starts the OSB if the following registry setting is present:
Registry Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Shortcut
Bar
Name: AutoStart
Value: 1
Type: DWORD
Registry Path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Osa\Autostart
Name: NotFindFast
Value: 1
Type: DWORD
Typically, when Osa.exe is present in the Startup folder, it has the -b and
-l switches set (Osa.exe -b -l).
Hope this helps.
